Or trembling heart, like leaf which

Made hand and arm together flinch and quail;

Outstretched on earth, from thence to rise no more.

Eyed like a peacock, and all crimson barr'd;
And full of silver moons, that, as she breathed,
Dissolv'd, or brighter shone, or interwreathed
Their lustres with the gloomier tapestries--
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries,

'Tis the red fires from Moscow's tow'rs that wave;
'Tis thine Old Guard strewing the Belgian plain;
'Tis the lone island in th' Atlantic main:

As when some heifer, seeking for her steer
Through woodland and deep grove, sinks wearied out
On the green sedge beside a stream, love-lorn,
Nor marks the
gathering
night that calls her home-
As pines that heifer, with such love as hers
May Daphnis pine, and I not care to heal.

Older than Rhea,
That

Falling and surging
With the vast rhythm
Ceaseless, eternal, 10
Keeps the long tally
Of all things mortal.

Were it not better done,
To dine and sleep through forty years;
Be loved by few; be feared by none;
Laugh life away; have wine for tears;
And take the mortal leap undaunted,
Content that all we asked was
granted?
